Meet the Neighbours

[Alien8]

We moved home a couple of months ago.

The new neighbours are ok, although Bernard insists on coming round every evening for a bite to eat.

We would love to see Bernard as a nightly visitor

We have them in the middle of Bristol, not even out in the burbs. Seen more badgers in Bristol than all the fifty years prior to my moving here

Ours likes KFC bones!

Cooked? If they're anything like cats and dogs it could harm them.

 

[Homers Double]

Have you seen what they eat? I doubt a brittle bone will be them any harm. Mum and dad have left bones out for a fox for the last two years and it still keeps coming back.

Britain's largest hedgerow omnivore!

Ours is fond of tulip bulbs, which is getting expensive !

A neighbour had laid a lawn, and overnight Mr Badger had rolled up two thirds of it grubbing for worms. He was annoyed at first but did see the funny side. Another neighbour had his (large) waterbut pulled over and all his plant pots got washed away in the ensuing tsunami.

Yet to see a live badger, just the occasional roadkill unfortunately. Same thing with hedgehogs in recent times

Yes I've never actually seen a live Badger, just casualties on the railway.

Also you have just reminded me that yes, I saw a dead hedgehog the other night there. I've seen many a live one though.

Ive seen them twice. Once on a night ride and once walking through some woodland in Kent (near Chartwell) there was one sitting on the path in broad daylight. It rather grudgingly got up and ambled away as we approached.

We had a mobile home on Anglesey and would get 2 or 3 visiting most evenings, especially if we left food out for them.

A couple of years ago I took the decision to concrete up the holes under our fence as the nightly badger visits had absolutely wrecked our garden like a fleet of JCBs. Our fault for making things so easy for them, but I do really miss them. Sometimes we had as many as nine of the little bar-coded buggers at a time, and Mrs D would put out little tiny peanut butter sandwiches for them. These days we have to content ourselves with pampering our squirrels and robins instead.

 

[YMFB]

They are tough, many years ago we ran one over at 30 mph whilst on the motorbike, straight over its neck. It barely slowed down we on the other hand were badly shaken.

 

[Shut Up Legs]

Have they badgered you about anything yet?
